0:00:03 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:14Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18The question is: can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:33against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Taking on our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:36 > 0:00:41are the Tennis Tykes, members of a tennis club based in Wetherby.
0:00:41 > 0:00:47Let's meet them. Hello, I'm Mike, I'm 67 and I'm a retired senior lecturer.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Dave, I'm 59 and I'm a tennis umpire.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Tim, I'm 49 and a regional sales manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Philip, I'm 68 and a retired financial adviser.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm John, I'm 66 and I'm a care company owner.
0:01:03 > 0:01:09So, Mike and team, welcome. Good to see you. All tennis players? Yes, that's correct.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11A range of skills? Varied.
0:01:11 > 0:01:18You've got some pretty serious ones. One or two who play in the local leagues that we compete in. OK.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23Do you quiz together? No, we don't. We're an ad hoc team, basically.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Put together for the occasion.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31I can see they're trying to lull you into a false sense of security. Good tactic.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36Every day there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers,
0:01:36 > 0:01:40but if they fail to win that rolls over to the next show.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44So I can tell you that the Eggheads have actually won the last 17 games,
0:01:44 > 0:01:49which means £18,000 is on the table today for you to win,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52if you can beat them!
0:01:52 > 0:01:56The first head-to-head battle is on Film and Television.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Who would like this? John? If you want.
0:02:00 > 0:02:06I shall martyr myself. John, which Egghead would you like to play?
0:02:06 > 0:02:10I don't know how recently any of them were on a tennis court.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14I'm going to pick Judith. She's bound to know more than I do,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18but she's very pretty and posh and I like that.
0:02:18 > 0:02:25John versus Judith from the Eggheads. Would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:02:26 > 0:02:32OK, John, Film and TV. Are we ready? We are, yes. You're a massive fan of the Beatles?
0:02:32 > 0:02:39Massive fan, yeah. Yeah. Are you a Beatles fan, Judith? I adored the Beatles in their day.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43What kind of period? Well, the '60s!
0:02:43 > 0:02:50I meant what sort of Beatles period. The White Album or Let It Be...? I don't know.
0:02:50 > 0:02:57The '60s is not quite precise enough. What's the best Beatles film? Definitely Hard Day's Night.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01It encapsulated the whole genre and was very well done.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07Probably one of the best pop music films ever made. I must get that out.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Film and TV. John, first or second? I shall go first, please.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Here we go. Which series of horror films which began in 1984
0:03:19 > 0:03:24features a central character with a burned face and a clawed glove?
0:03:28 > 0:03:34Well, these are all films that used to keep me awake.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Chainsaw Massacre is horrific,
0:03:36 > 0:03:41but I believe it is the guy called Freddy from Nightmare On Elm Street.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Absolutely right, John. Well done. Nightmare On Elm Street.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Judith, over to you.
0:03:47 > 0:03:54Which comedian started presenting his Science Club on BBC television in 2012?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Oh, that's Dara O'Briain.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05He's chummed up with Brian Cox.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Yeah. He's funny. Right answer.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Well done.
0:04:09 > 0:04:16The character played by Jo Brand in the comedy Getting On shares her name with which pop star?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Well...
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I'd have more chance if you asked how many stones are in Hadrian's Wall.
0:04:27 > 0:04:33I've heard of Jo Brand, but I've not seen the actual show.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38Debbie Harry might be too big a star. Kim Wilde was a big star here.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43I may go for Sheena Easton. She wasn't quite in the same category as the other two.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Sheena Easton is the wrong answer. Kim Wilde is the answer.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Judith, your chance for the lead.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55In the 2012 James Bond film Skyfall, who plays Q?
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Oh, that is the lovely Ben Wishaw who I think's a terribly good actor.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Ben Wishaw is right. A very young Q.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Very young. Surprisingly young.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13OK, she's taken the lead.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16John, you need to get this right.
0:05:16 > 0:05:22Eric Marlon Bishop is the real name of which actor?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I've never heard of Cuba Gooding Jr.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34Jamie Foxx I've heard of. Eddie Murphy I've heard of.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39If it was a pop singer, I'd know them all, but with film stars...
0:05:39 > 0:05:43I think I'm going to go for Eddie Murphy.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48It's Jamie Foxx. Ah. It's Jamie Foxx.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50It's difficult to guess that one.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55Judith has taken the round and she will be in the final round.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59John, you've been knocked out. Plenty of time yet.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Please, both of you rejoin your teammates and we'll play on.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06In tennis terms, what just happened?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10I think that was one-love to the Eggheads.
0:06:10 > 0:06:17Well played, John. Thank you. There's plenty of time to win the match, if not that game.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21The Tennis Tykes have lost a brain, the Eggheads have not lost one yet.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Let's see what happens with Science.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26So who's the scientist?
0:06:26 > 0:06:31Who would like to play an Egghead? I'll have a go.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34It's you, Mike. You're the scientist.
0:06:34 > 0:06:40Looks like it's me. You've been nominated. Against which Egghead?
0:06:40 > 0:06:46I'd like to play Chris, please. OK, Mike and Chris, do go to the question room now.
0:06:47 > 0:06:53So we're going to do Science now. Mike, first or second? I'll go first, thank you, Jeremy.
0:06:58 > 0:07:04Here we go. What name is given to any substance applied to sliding surfaces to reduce friction?
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Well, a refrigerant is something which is used to chill something,
0:07:11 > 0:07:17a coagulant is commonly used to make blood clot. That leaves us with lubricant.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Lubricant is the right answer. Well done, Mike.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Chris, here is your question.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28Electricity passed through neon produces a glow of which colour?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Neon. The original neon signs were rather sickly looking things.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41Red/orange is sodium. Yellow/brown wouldn't work, so pink/purple.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Interesting answer.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47I'm thinking back to American strip malls of the '50s
0:07:47 > 0:07:52and thinking they were red twisty letters. It's red/orange.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Oh, right. You're in the lead, Mike.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Your team's gone, "Wow!" like when MPs wake up in the Commons.
0:08:00 > 0:08:06The same noise. Which substance used in the cosmetics industry
0:08:06 > 0:08:11is obtained from the African tree Vitellaria Paradoxa?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Right.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Bit of a stab in the dark, this one.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I'm going to go for tea tree oil.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31It's shea butter. OK. It's not tea tree oil.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Over to you, Chris.
0:08:34 > 0:08:40The German chemist Felix Hoffmann is most associated with the synthesis of which drug
0:08:40 > 0:08:43in the 1890s?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Well, aspirin is derived from the willow tree. It's natural.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Penicillin came along much later, after Alexander Fleming,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58but there was a move to synthesise quinine in the 1890s
0:08:58 > 0:09:01for use in the colonies. Quinine.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05A bit like your neon answer. You charged at the wrong one.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Quinine it is not. Barry?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Aspirin. Acetylsalicylic acid.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16But Chris says it grows on trees. It was originally derived
0:09:16 > 0:09:20from the bark of a willow tree. But Hoffmann synthesised it.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23So aspirin is the answer, Chris.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25If you get this one right, Mike,
0:09:25 > 0:09:29you've taken the round and you're in the final.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32He's got two wrong in a row.
0:09:32 > 0:09:38At the age of 81, who was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1983
0:09:38 > 0:09:42for her discovery of so-called jumping genes,
0:09:42 > 0:09:46pieces of DNA that move from one place to another in genomes?
0:09:54 > 0:09:58I think I read something about this, but I can't remember exactly.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02I'm going to go for Rita Levi-Montalcini.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Rita Levi-Montalcini, it is not. Anyone know?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Barbara McClintock. Yes.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Discovered jumping genes.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13OK, Chris,
0:10:13 > 0:10:17this is not the highest-scoring round we've ever had,
0:10:17 > 0:10:23if I could put that sensitively. If you get this wrong, you will be out.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Which of these creatures would be of special interest to a teuthologist?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Can you spell it, please?
0:10:33 > 0:10:39T-E-U-T-H-O-L-O-G-I-S-T. Teuthologist.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44Well, okapi is an antelope. That would be of interest to a naturalist in general.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48There's no specialisation in antelope studies.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51The opossum is a marsupial.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57I'll have to go with octopus, the most scientifically interesting.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02Octopus is right. So we go to sudden death, Mike.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I don't give you alternative answers.
0:11:05 > 0:11:11Here's your question, Mike. What unit of mass, equivalent to 0.2 of a gram,
0:11:11 > 0:11:15is used to measure the mass of a diamond?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18A carat. Carat is correct.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Well done, Michael!
0:11:23 > 0:11:26On the Minor Planet Centre system of coding,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29which UK observatory has the code number 000?
0:11:29 > 0:11:34Well, presumably it's the base from which all others are measured,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37so it would be the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, or Herstmonceux.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42Greenwich Royal Observatory is correct.
0:11:42 > 0:11:48Mike, the mineral cinnabar is a compound of mercury and which other element?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Sulphur. Sulphur is correct.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59It's the certainty, isn't it?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03It's quite something. OK, Chris, this to stay in.
0:12:03 > 0:12:08Which scientific instrument, historically used by astronomers,
0:12:08 > 0:12:12takes its English name from the Greek meaning "star taking"?
0:12:12 > 0:12:16That's an astrolabe. Astrolabe is correct.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Back to you, Mike.
0:12:19 > 0:12:25Which planet in the Solar System was originally named Georgium Sidus,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28in honour of King George III?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Right. I don't know this one.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I'm going to have a go at Neptune.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39The answer is Uranus. Oh, OK.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Chris, to take the round.
0:12:41 > 0:12:48In 1962, the British-born scientist Neil Bartlett proved that noble gases are not chemically inert
0:12:49 > 0:12:55by becoming the first person to form a compound using which noble gas?
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Argon. Oh! Eggheads, is he right?
0:13:01 > 0:13:06Xenon. I think it was xenon. Xenon is the answer, Chris.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Off the hook, Mike. Sudden death.
0:13:09 > 0:13:15Which of the great apes has the scientific name Pan troglodytes?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Wow. Um...
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Orangutan.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24No, chimpanzee. OK.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Chris,
0:13:25 > 0:13:31which geological period of the Paleozoic Era takes its name
0:13:31 > 0:13:33from the Latin for Wales?
0:13:33 > 0:13:38Cambrian. Cambrian is right. You're in the final round.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Sorry, Mike.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Knocked out by our Egghead.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47Chris will be in the final. Both of you rejoin your teams.
0:13:47 > 0:13:53Bad luck, Mike. We were near your subject area, but not always on it.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57No, and some of them were very esoteric! Yeah.
0:13:57 > 0:14:03Tough. It shows... Chris did well. Exactly. The Eggheads can nick it at the end.
0:14:03 > 0:14:10But well played. Thank you. As it stands, the Tennis Tykes have lost two brains from the final.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15The Eggheads have not lost a brain. Let's see what happens on Sport.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17I am looking at sportsmen.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22Shall I take that one? I think so. I'll take that, Jeremy.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Against which Egghead?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Can I try and take on Pat, please? Of course you can.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Dave from the Tennis Tykes against Pat on Sport.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:14:37 > 0:14:43Dave, you are a real tennis umpire? A real tennis umpire, yeah.
0:14:43 > 0:14:49That's how you make a living, is it? Er, well, it's more for the enjoyment of doing it
0:14:49 > 0:14:54rather than the money. You've done it at Wimbledon, at the Davis Cup.
0:14:54 > 0:15:00You've been an umpire in some key games. That's right. Very tense games and at a high level.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03It's enjoyable. OK.
0:15:03 > 0:15:09You're against Pat. The subject is Sport. Would you like to go first or second? I'll go first, please.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Here is your first question, Dave.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20Who became manager of the tennis player Andy Murray in 2009?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Crikey!
0:15:26 > 0:15:31I don't think it's Simon Cowell. He's more entertainment.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Simon Bates, I'm thinking of as radio,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37so I will say Simon Fuller for that one.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41You're absolutely right. The tennis question comes up straight away.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43How about that? Amazing.
0:15:43 > 0:15:50Pat, which rower partnered Anna Watkins to win an Olympic double sculls gold medal in 2012?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I think Laura Trott is a cyclist.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00There are two Jade Jones.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04And I don't think either of them row.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06I think it's Katherine Grainger.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11Katherine Grainger is the right answer, Pat. Back to you, Dave.
0:16:11 > 0:16:17Otago Volts and Canterbury Wizards are New Zealand teams in which sport?
0:16:20 > 0:16:24The first thing, when you said a New Zealand sport,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I was thinking of rugby union,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29but could you just give me the name again, please?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32The first name is spelt O-T-A-G-O.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Otago Volts and Canterbury Wizards.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Right, um...
0:16:38 > 0:16:40I'm thinking rugby union,
0:16:40 > 0:16:44but I've not heard of them as rugby union teams
0:16:44 > 0:16:46which I think I might have...
0:16:46 > 0:16:49No, I'll stick with rugby union, please, Jeremy.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54Is he right? I don't think so. Soccer? Yeah, I think it's football.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58You think it's soccer. You're all wrong. Cricket is the answer.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Sorry, Dave. Back to you, Pat.
0:17:00 > 0:17:06The footballer Fabrice Muamba, who retired from the sport in 2012, was born in which country?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I think they're all Francophone countries.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I have a faint feeling he's from Kinshasa,
0:17:19 > 0:17:23but I'm not dead sure. I don't think it's Central African Republic.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28I think he's from Kinshasa, so it's Democratic Republic of Congo.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Congo is quite right. Well done.
0:17:32 > 0:17:39He's ahead, so you need this one, Dave, to stay in. If you don't get it, you're out of the final.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44Which baseball team won the 2012 World Series, beating the Detroit Tigers?
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Right...
0:17:51 > 0:17:53San Francisco...
0:17:54 > 0:17:56The Super Bowl...
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I've honestly no idea,
0:18:00 > 0:18:02but I'm going to make a decision
0:18:02 > 0:18:05between the Cincinnati Reds and the Cardinals,
0:18:05 > 0:18:10purely because I don't think it's San Francisco.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14I'll go for St Louis Cardinals, please, Jeremy. Pat, do you know?
0:18:14 > 0:18:18It's the Giants. It is the San Francisco Giants, Dave. Sorry.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22No way back for you, so you have been knocked out.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27Pat is in the final round. Both of you, please come back to us.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32Bad luck, Dave. Tough. Thank you. What can I say?
0:18:32 > 0:18:37Tough. He's good. Is the tactic going to change? Do we change the tactic now?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39We'll have to do something.
0:18:40 > 0:18:46The Tennis Tykes have lost three brains from the final round. The Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51I keep saying "so far", hoping things will change for you. The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Is that bad?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56LAUGHTER Who wants this?
0:18:56 > 0:19:00It's going to be me, but I only learned to read and write a few years ago(!)
0:19:00 > 0:19:05Philip against which Egghead? You can either have Barry or Kevin.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10Right, I think we'll do a kamikaze here. I'll go for Kevin.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Trying to take out the grand master. Yeah, well... OK.
0:19:13 > 0:19:20Philip from the Tennis Tykes versus Kevin from the Eggheads. It's Arts & Books. Do go to the question room.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Philip, would you like to go first or second? I'd like to go home!
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Good answer! I wish I could give you a point for that answer.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30First or second? I'll go first, please.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Good luck. In Shakespeare's play The Merchant Of Venice,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39which character says,
0:19:39 > 0:19:44"Let the forfeit be nominated for an equal pound of your fair flesh
0:19:44 > 0:19:48"to be cut off and taken in what part of your body pleaseth me"?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Well, the only character I know...
0:19:56 > 0:19:59I think it might be Shylock.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01My answer will be Shylock.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06Shylock is correct, well done. "The pound of flesh" quote, yeah.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Kevin, here's your question.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13You were sitting very quietly on the end. Were you keeping your counsel? Something like that.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16You've suddenly broken into the limelight.
0:20:16 > 0:20:22Which Victorian novelist features in the Terry Pratchett novel Dodger?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29I don't know this because I'm not a Terry Pratchett fan,
0:20:29 > 0:20:33so I've no idea about it from that angle,
0:20:33 > 0:20:35but Victorian novelist...
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Leo Tolstoy may have lived much of his life during the Victorian period,
0:20:40 > 0:20:45but he was Russian. I don't see why he'd be called a Victorian novelist.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50Henry James, whilst he started writing under Victoria...
0:20:51 > 0:20:56..was as much Edwardian as Victorian, so I think it has to be Dickens.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Very good logic. Yes, Charles Dickens, it is.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03He uses the word "Victorian". He gets to it through that word.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06OK, over to you, Philip.
0:21:06 > 0:21:12In the Harry Potter books, what type of creature is Errol, owned by the Weasley family?
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Well, I must be one of the few people in the UK
0:21:18 > 0:21:22who has only just heard of Harry Potter novels,
0:21:22 > 0:21:26so this is going to be an out-and-out guess.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30But I think I'll stick to the same side and go "owl".
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Errol is an owl. You're right.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Kevin...
0:21:39 > 0:21:45In a work by TS Eliot, who is known as "the original conjuring cat"?
0:21:50 > 0:21:53They're all characters from it.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57I've not read the original or indeed seen the stage show,
0:21:57 > 0:21:59so I'm slightly in the dark.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Conjuring cat...
0:22:01 > 0:22:03I'll...
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I'll have to go for Mistoffelees, Mr Mistoffelees.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11And you've got the answer right. Mr Mistoffelees, it is.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Sorry, Philip.
0:22:13 > 0:22:20You couldn't shake him off that easily. I thought you were in there. So did I. Can I go home now, please?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Come on, you're doing well. Here's your question.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27In John Singer Sargent's famous portrait of Madame X,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30what colour dress is the subject wearing?
0:22:32 > 0:22:37The first thought I had was green, so that's hopelessly wrong.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42I'll do a Judith and go down the middle and say it's white.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Judith, where would you have gone?
0:22:45 > 0:22:49He should have done a Judith and gone down the right. That's the magic one.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54And it's black. We've got confused about what angle Judith prefers.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56LAUGHTER
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Black is the answer, Philip. I'm sorry.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Kevin, get this one right and you're in the final round.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09If you don't, we go to sudden death.
0:23:09 > 0:23:17Jeanne Hebuterne was the mistress of which artist, committing suicide soon after his death in 1920?
0:23:21 > 0:23:25She was the mistress of Amedeo Modigliani.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27You're absolutely right. She was.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Modigliani is the correct answer.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Sorry, Philip, your one error there has cost you the round.
0:23:33 > 0:23:40I know that's painful. You won't be in the final. If you both come back to us, we'll play that final round.
0:23:41 > 0:23:48So this is what we have been playing towards, the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:50 > 0:23:56won't be allowed to take part in this round, so, Mike, Dave, Philip and John from the Tennis Tykes,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59would you please leave the studio?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02I don't know quite how this has happened, Tim.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06You are alone, but your colleagues will be very grateful if you win.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10You're playing to win the Tennis Tykes £18,000.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15Chris, Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin, you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:24:15 > 0:24:17the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22I will ask each team three questions in turn. This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26You are allowed to confer. That doesn't help you much.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31So the question, Tim, is - is your one brain able to overcome these five?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Would you like to go first or second? I'll go first.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40OK, well, good luck to you.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Which bird shares its name with the term used for "small flags"?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52I've never heard of a waxwing flag or a starling flag,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56but I have heard of bunting, so I'll go for "bunting".
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Absolutely right. Well done. First point to you.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03That might have seemed easy, but people trip up on the first one
0:25:03 > 0:25:09and it's hard to recover, so that is a good one to have in the bag. OK, Eggheads, all five of you...
0:25:09 > 0:25:13What term is used to mean a small, fashionable, upmarket hotel
0:25:13 > 0:25:16that has been designed by an interior decorator?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Boutique. Boutique.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24All happy with "boutique"? Yeah.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27That's a boutique hotel.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Boutique hotel, it is. You're right.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32OK, Tim...
0:25:32 > 0:25:37In the UK, Oak Apple Day is celebrated in which month?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Oak Apple Day. Oak Apple Day.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46I've heard of it, but I don't know which month it's in.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49I'm trying to think logically.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51When would oak apples be around?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55I seem to think that apples come later in the year.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57I'll go for September, Jeremy.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Eggheads, is he right? May. May the 29th, I think.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05May, Tim. Sorry, May is the answer.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08The Eggheads have a chance to take the lead.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Thomas Doughty was suspected of witchcraft, tried for treachery
0:26:12 > 0:26:17and executed whilst sailing with which British explorer?
0:26:20 > 0:26:23I think that's Francis Drake. Drake, wasn't it?
0:26:23 > 0:26:26It was on the way down, as they were going down...
0:26:26 > 0:26:30I'm trying to think which side of South America it was on,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33but he was a bit too rebellious.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36We're all agreed on this one. It was Francis Drake.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38What was the story? I'm fascinated.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41It was... The charges were trumped up
0:26:41 > 0:26:46because he effectively disputed Drake's leadership of the expedition.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Francis Drake is the right answer.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50You do need to get this one right, Tim,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53to stay in the contest. Don't give up.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58When they fall apart, it's rapid and fun for me, to be honest.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02The Japanese skill of iaido involves which of these?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Let me just spell that for you.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09It's I-A-I-D-O.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Iaido. Again, unfortunately, I haven't heard of it.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16I'm thinking about a skill.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Would you call penmanship a skill? I suppose you would.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23But then you would the other two as well.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Something's drawing me to penmanship.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Yeah, I'm going to go for penmanship.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36Penmanship is the wrong answer. Oh, dear. The answer is swordsmanship.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I won't go back to the Eggheads for another question
0:27:39 > 0:27:42because there is no way back for the Tennis Tykes.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46We have to say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56Commiserations to Tim and the Tennis Tykes. I hope you enjoyed coming. Very much so. Thank you.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and their winning streak continues.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05You won't go home with the £18,000 which rolls over to the next show.
0:28:05 > 0:28:11Eggheads, very well done to you. Out in force, all five of you survived the early rounds.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Who, I wonder, will ever beat you?
0:28:13 > 0:28:18Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21£19,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
